I could be way off base, but isn't that part of the PC 2000 specifications ? No DB-9 Serial Ports No DB-15 Parallel Ports No PS-2 keyboard/mouse ports ?
Thought everything was supposed to push towards USB connectivity ( and therefore away from NT 4.0 at the time ) Is the pc a small form factor? Maybe justification for small form keyboard ? Dual monitor out of the box is kinda sweet though. And now, almost the year 2011, there is NO excuse for loading all that crapware/trialware !!!

So, I just ordered a new desktop for an accounting firm client. It's a nice desktop that includes dual monitor support without an add-on graphics card. This saves some time and money for the client since they have gone paperless and everyone needs dual monitors. Two standards missing: 1: No ps/2 ports. Not a huge deal since so many keyboards are now usb. 2:Included keyboard is a short model that does not include a number pad. Desktop keyboard without the num-pad. Totally a waste of plastics and silicon in an accounting firm. But they did manage to load 25 wild tangent sponsored games on the desktop.
